Recommendation On Deer Season Made By Council Dates for the 1947 deer season from October 4 to October 25 were recommended by the Oes- chutes river council at Its quar terly meeting held at the Pilot Butte Inn here last night. The meeting was attended by about 30 delegates and visitors from sportsmen's clubs in The Dalles, Dufur, Maupin, Prineville, Redmond, Sisters, Bend, Madras and Mora. Another recommendation to be presented at the game commis sion meeting in July, when big game and upland bird regulations will be considered, is that there is to be no oDen season on anteloDe. I in Oreeon Want Elk Season An open season on elk In an area east of the Cascades was also recommended. Boundaries suggested were the McKenzie highway on the north, The Dalles-1 California highway on the east, I the Willamette highway on the south and the Cascade divide on the west. The Three Sisters refuge area would be excluded. Sherman county delegates re ceived approval on a recommen dation that the deer season in that county be closed for a period of five years, and that the season on quail and Hungarian pheasants be concurrent with the season on Chinese pheasants. The council also recommended that Oregon be included in the southern zone for migratory wa terfowl, which would result in later opening and closing of the waterfowl hunting season. Oppose Sjiecial Season All special open seasons for deer, special seasons for doe deer, and special areas for archers were opposed. The council's recommendations were compiled from recommenda tions submitted by individual clubs. The council committee is headed, by Ole Larson, of The Dalles. A speaker at last night's meet ing was James Louder, of Salem, president of the Oregon Wildlife federation.

Continuous Session Moves Into Second Day With Small Group Seeking Postponement Meeting is Longest in More Than 20 Years As Insurgents Try to Have Action On Truman's Veto Delayed Until Some lime Next Week FILIBUSTER ENDS Washington, June 21 (II R) The senate's labor bill fili buster ended late today with an agreement to vote on overriding President Truman's veto Monday at 3 p. m.. EDT. Washington, June 21 .UT.) A non-stop, filibuster against the Taft-Hartley labor bill forced the senate into its second day of continuous session today. A small band of insurgent republicans and democrats, by dint of constant talk, were winning their fight to post pone until next week the crucial senate vote on overriding President Truman's veto of the labor bill. At noon, EDT, the senate had been in continuous session exactly 24 hours the longest in 20 years. A compromise agreement to" end the filibuster and postpone the crucial vote until Monday was expected within a few hours. The republican leadership had wanted to vote today ; the insurgents had sought to put it off for several days Expect to Override When the senate does get around to voting, it is expected to join the house In overriding the veto and making the republi can labor control bill the law of the land. But even supporters of the bill predicted that the vote may be "closer than many think." A republican poll, showed a 65 to 28 margin to override. This would be three votes more than the necessary two-thirds majority needed to override the president. A two-thirds majority of both the house and senate is necessary to enact a law over the president's objection. The house already has voted to override by 331 to 83 far more than the necessary two-thirds. Proposes Monday Vote Republican leaders at first had been determined to smash the filibuster even if it meant staying in session through Sunday. But at dawn GOP whip Kenneth Wher- ' r' Proposed a unanimous agree- fiiibusterers 'refused to I give in then. But later, Sen. Wayne i Morse, R., Ore., one of the lead- I ? ?..,he insurgents, said he and his filibustering colleagues would be willing to consent to a vote any time next week. Though apparently abandoning all hope of getting a vote today, tne leadership strategy seemed to be to let Morse and his asso ciates talk a few hours more be fore making an agreement on postponement. Wants Opinions Morse conceded he was fili bustering, but maintained it was not the usual type of filibuster because he was not trying to pre vent a vote. He said he only want ed the vote put off over the week end so that the senators' con stituents would have time to make known their opinions on the veto. Morse carefully safeguarded his right to hold the floor, know ing that if he yielded to any thing except a question he would lose it. Under senate rules, if a speaked yields while another senator makes a statement, his speech is concluded. Recalls Old Speech Sen. Owen Brewster, R., Mo, asked Morse whether his present position was consistent with speech that he made Feb. 6, 1947. Brewster picked up a copy of the record and started to read the speech, Morse walked over to Brewster and took the copy of the record out of his hands. "I will read it myself," he said Fines Levied In Municipal Court Earl Mllnor, 27, 923 Riverside avenue, was fined $15 and sen tenced to 10 days in the city jail by the municipal court Judge yes terday. Milner was arrested Thursday on a charge of being drunk. The court also found Melvin L. New house, 21, 1361 Federal street, and Frank A. Ferguson, 21, 1126 Federal street, guilty of violating the basic speed rule for vehicles, and fined them each $15 and five days suspended sentence. Both Newhouse and Ferguson were ar rested Thursday.

Vito Marcantonio, ALP, N. Y., said today the house vote over riding President Truman's veto of the republican-sponsored labor bill "raises the almost certain possibility of a nationwide third party in 1948." IMPRESSIONS of Central Oregon Visitors "The people here treat you so wonderfully," a pair of California women declared this morning after an over-night stop in Bend on their return to the Golden state after a leisurely trip through Oregon and Washington.
